What is Nordic-RSE

The Nordic Research Software Engineers association (in short, Nordic-RSE) is a grass-root association that aims at providing a professional network to Research Software Engineers (RSE) in the Nordics. While the term "RSE" is not as of yet of common use here, Nordic-RSE is currently a community for people who operate at the interface between research and digital technologies (software, computing, data). We operate on an inclusivity base: if you think that the above description is you, then you are welcome in our association!

As an association, Nordic-RSE works on promoting the careers of RSE by:

  • being a networking platform for specialized research supporters,
  • provide a community and professional development network for RSEs (in particular supporting career development),
  • organizing events to bring RSEs and related people together, and
  • supporting those who want to bring RSE services and skills to their community (in other words, provide a RSE service).

We are a young organization and there is plenty of room to get involved with your own ideas - please get in touch.

Many of us are active in CodeRefinery, which focuses on teaching RSE-like skills to researchers.

Sponsors

Nordic-RSE is supported by the Industrial Ecology Digital Lab and the Software Sustainability Institute.
